We already know Wrexham have been scanned. Stadiums of teams like Blackburn, Bristol and Coventry. Surely they're not going to scan a stadium and not the players?

As a Sheffield Wednesday fan I'd love my team scanned with stadiums. Sunderland scans would be amazing! Such a great young squad!

My favourite career modes are road to glory ones where I start in a lower league and work my way through the leagues (like Ipswich have recently) so EFL scans would be perfect!

Yea myself too and many other players I’d guess. I’ve said it before, for example Ipswich this year. If the championship was scanned at least majority of their squad would have faces already and then you’re not waiting for them to add the faces when they get promoted into premier league.

Man i wish they scanned more lower league English stadiums. Tbf they've scanned quite a few so far but there's some arenas out there I'd love to see in the game.

To name a few:

Championship

•Deepdale (Preston)

•Hillsborough (Sheffield Wed)

•The Den (Milwall)

League One

•St. Andrews (Birmingham)

•St. James (Exeter)

•Macron Stadium (Bolton)

•Racecourse Ground (Wrexham)

•Oakwell (Barnsley)

•The Valley (Charlton)

League Two

•Valley Parade (Bradford)

•MK Stadium (MK Dons)

•Meadow Lane (Notts County)

•Highbury (Fleetwood)

•Vale Park (Port Vale)

Scanning Wrexham. Total waste off resources.

Missing players Serie A last year:

Scanned 10 teams. At least 50 players missing.

Ligue 1: between 9 and 6 players scanned

Nantes only 5,  Montpellier 4!!!

At least 90 players missing.

In Bundesliga als missing faces

Kovar, Puerta, Ryerson, Adamu, Lenz, Seimen, 

Bedia, Ronnow, Kaufmann,  Sarr,  Fisher,  Hauge, Wober, Aaronson, Mainka, Maloney, Cvancara, Reitz, Nsoki, Drexler, Berisha,  Weiper,  Vandenberg, Woltermade. Bauer

Also 60 players

Celtic and Rangers are almost fully scanned.

Ajax and River plate are missing 17 players.

Havo, Rensch, Godts, Sutalo, Ramaj,  Kaplan, Taharovic, Colidio,  Solari, Villagra, Boselli,  Simon are all above 80 potential. 

Mastantuono had 88 potential.

The net update need at least 200 new faces.

Not counting the Premier League and alot of faces who need update.

So yeah no Wrexham please.

Sporting Lissabon, As Roma, Napoli, Monza, Galatasaray, Fenerbace and Feynoord are also Maybe scanned. 

So these need + 60 new faces

@daviddtcompletely agree 👍

That cringey playtoy club shouldn’t be given the time of day let alone scanned. Utter waste.

Efforts / resources should be spent elsewhere.

There’s been years of useless scans over the years from the promoted pl teams.

There’s only about 6-7 scans that will be any good from this seasons 3 promoted clubs…

The majority of us don’t want lower level uk scans. Bundesliga, Serie A, La Liga, Ligue 1 and partner clubs should be the focus!

After all these are the leagues where pl clubs buy their players from 😉

Agree and also no one asking about Metz, clermont abd Lorient!

Am I the only person that doesn't like faces with strand hair? For me they make the player models look less realistic, less scanned and more "graphic generated".

Zaniolo for example and players like Conor Gallagher, Gundogan or James Maddison. The scanned images were scans of their actual hair so I felt it looked more realistic. I'd have much rather have had a full new scan of James Maddison with his tattoos rather than a strand hair makeover... 

It also brings a graphic inconsistency to the game which kind of bugs me. I with they'd just stop with it and get implementing more scanned players instead.

We are now on mid November and 5 title updates and still no new starheads. EA are a joke. At this point last year we had around 100 new starheads post release. 

Missing Serie A scans, missing Bundesliga scans, missing Ligue 1 scans. Could have at least added some of the missing scans before adding scans of new teams/players in the bigger updates

Seems we have to wait for faces in december.

Glad I didn't buy game yet.

That Refifa guy posted several video's butt always wrong.

Credit for him for finding the faces who probably will get update

Aaron Ramsdale is another example of strand hair making a scan look less realistic IMO. He looks odd. Same with Ait-Nouri.

At least scanned hair is photo accurate.

Refifa is total click bate 95% things he posts are just total rumours and he posts them as news

Ramsdale's hair changes from black to blonde in the game. Same with a few players. There seems to be issues with certain players hair since they started doing Strand hair. I don't care for it in all honesty.

anyone knows where to find list with female players with real faces? it's not on sofifa right?

Posting this here too, why does Zirkzee have a blue headband and when will EA get rid of it???

He doesn't ever wear a headband.

It looks ridiculous!

I posted about this error in March on the FC24 starhead thread.

It’s an unusable scan for me with the headband. 

Whoever made the Zirzkee starhead made a mistake. He has a headband in game. He never wears a headband when playing.

It looks ridiculous and even worse if he transfers to a team without any blue on their kit. 

Seems logical he put the headband on during the capture session so they could capture his face without hair interfering with it. Other players have had to do this before like Elustondo below

There is a photo of him from the capture session with no headband but I can’t see an artist randomly adding a headband when creating the starhead since he doesn’t wear one IRL. Way too much work and for no rational reason.

Would imagine some players are scanned with and without headbands during the capture sessions and then the artists can render the hair. In this case it seems the artist created the starhead directly from the headband scan

I expect it will be fixed in the upcoming Holiday Update.

You have more faith in EA than I do. If history is anything to go by we'll be seeing that headband for another few years yet.

Anyone else have a problem with the game “sort of” crashing while playing a game and go into the menu to make a sub and then you get stuck in the menu. You can scroll and stuff but when you try to get back into to game nothing happens.

Maybe this belongs in another forum, but since I only play CM maybe you’ve guys caught it too…
